Alkali metals can react explosively with water and it is textbook knowledge that this vigorous behaviour results from heat release, steam formation and ignition of the hydrogen gas that is produced. Here we suggest that the initial process enabling the a

Alkali Metals:Alkali metals are elements of group 1.They are called alkali metals because the hydroxides they form on reaction with water, is highly alkaline in nature. The elements listed below constitute group 1 elements and are collectively considered as alkali metals. ...
alkali metal, any of the six chemical elements that make up Group 1 (Ia) of theperiodic table—namely,lithium(Li),sodium(Na),potassium(K),rubidium(Rb),cesium(Cs), andfrancium(Fr). Thealkalimetalsare so called because reaction withwaterforms alkalies (i.e., strongbasescapable of neutralizi...

The interaction of alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium) with an Ni(110)鈥揙 surface has been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The reaction at 300K gives rise to a peroxide species together with a degree of reduction of the oxide to metallic nickel. With sodium an...
For the reaction of solid sodium peroxide added to water, is it: Na2O2+ H2O Na++ HO2-+ OH- or Na2O2+ H2O Na++ OH- I am preparing for the USNCO and the answer keys on the USNCO say the first reaction, but the first reaction includes the HO2-which I have never seen before. ...
